MUMBO JUMBO WORKS
*************************************
“Let’s begin by killing all the lawyers!”
These words were spoken not by God
but by someone very close to him.
My question:
What about sermonizers and speechifiers?
*
“God of war,”
“God is on our side,”
“God is great!”
My question:
What kind of Father wants to see
His two sons fighting unto death?
*
Unmask a believer
and expose a cannibal.
*
How many wars
have religions and ideologies prevented?
How many have they legitimized?
*
When was the last time
any one of our bosses, bishops and benefactors
asked for your opinion on anything?
Next question:
How many times have they asked for your money?
*
Fund-raising is a popular enterprise
because it is profitable
and as fund-raisers prosper
the needy get needier.
*
Fund-raisers: should they be classified
as members of the 1% or the 99%?

If they benefit from the funds raised, then probably members of the 1%

Are the expenditures of funds raised by Armenian bishops, bosses and benefactors audited by recognized accounting firms?

READING
************************
Whenever I start reading
an Armenian’s views and opinions,
I ask myself:
Is he an objective and impartial observer?
Can he afford to be?
If he is an academic,
is he dependent on the charity of swine?
If he is politics,
who are his role models beside Stalin?
If he is in the business of raising funds,
what is his cut?
If he is in church, is he a serial fornicator?
Which propaganda line is he recycling?
*
As you may have guessed by now
I seldom go beyond the first
or at most three lines.

NOTES / COMMENTS
***********************************
America refuses to recognize the Genocide
because America prefers to recognize
the need to take care of #1.
*
We have fallen so low that the only way is up.
But perhaps I am being overly optimistic…
*
The Parthenon in Athens,
the Aghia Sofia in Istanbul,
the Notre Dame in Paris:
they are not monuments to faith
but to man’s need to believe
no matter how untenable and absurd
the propositions on which it is based.

Re: crime

AS I SEE IT
***********************
America rejected Charlie Chaplin
and elected Nixon as President:
another proof of the assertion that
Planet Earth is the insane asylum
of the galaxy.
*
An American whose ambition in life
is to be a CEO on Wall Street
and a Muslim willing to die
in exchange of seventy-three virgins:
they might as well be Siamese twins.
*
A drowning man does not consider rain
an inconvenience.
*
There is more merit in exposing Turks
as part-Armenians than
as bloodthirsty savages.
*
Everything I say has been said before.
I am not here to be original.
I am here to remind and emphasize.

Why is it important to have America's recognition of the Armenian genocide?

Have American presidents properly addressed the genocide against native Americans?

Most surviving native Americans are segregated into reservations, where they battle against drugs and alcoholism and have short life spans

OBSERVATIONS
***************************
Armenians love their homeland
but prefer to live abroad.
*
I am prejudiced on he subject of Armenians?
Who isn't?
*
To be born and raised
in an alien environment:
nothing worse.
I thank the Lord every day
that I was not born in Armenia.
*
Man: a creature who will believe
in Christ and the Buddha as easily
as in Hitler and Stalin.

Yes because for 95% of Armenians in diaspora
Armenianism is a hobby !

Re: crime

ON IGNORANCE
**********************************
To understand and explain means
first and foremost to establish connections
where none appears to exist:
such as the role of ignorance in our history.
*
Our misfortunes did not fall on us
like thieves in the night:
we invited them;
and when they responded to our invitation
we pretended to be astonished.
*
I have nothing against ignorance
provided it is open to instruction.
Ignorance as a dead end;
ignorance as an open invitation to catastrophe:
that’s where I draw the line.
*
On a related topic:
Kissing ass is a demanding job.
The more you do it the more is expected of you.
That’s because none of our
bosses, bishops and benefactors has ever said:
“I don’t want to see another brown nose
in my presence!”
